Excerpt from The Working Constitution of the United Kingdom and Its Outgrowths
This primer is an adaptation of a work bearing the same title published in 1901. The necessary reduction in size has been achieved by the omission of the historical portions, and of the account given of local government, the land laws, education, etc., in Part II. of the larger book. One or two chapters have been somewhat condensed, whilst, on the other hand, the portions dealing with the Civil Departments, and with Protectorates, and Chartered Companies, have been expanded. As a consequence of these changes the order of the chapters has undergone considerable rearrangement, but in all other respects the text of the primer is substantially that of the larger edition.
The labour thus described has been effected by Mr. George Unwin, to whose assistance I was so much indebted in the preparation of the original work; and Mr. Unwin owes a number of valuable suggestions to the kindness of Mr. Graham Wallas.
